And, as a corollary to that: Replaced-by should accept only a single
packagename as predicate, since we have this requirement of replacing
any occurance of OLDNAME with NEWNAME in the internal dependency
database. I suppose it could in theory take a list of multiple packages
but then we'd have to deal with replacing one thing with multiple things
and that just seems overly complicated. If a one-to-many relationship
is required it can be achieved by setting the "requires:" of NEWNAME to
pull in the extra ones.
